Being a personal trainer is such an exciting thing to do, but just how do you answer the question "how to become an online personal trainer?" It's not as tricky as you might feel it is, but there is a huge trap everyone falls in and it sets you back months and months. That trap is social media, when people want to become a personal trainer online, every man and their dog will tell you to go online. It seems the sensible choice, but it's also the longest choice.


How to become an online personal trainer

You will be encouraged to use a whole range of social media platforms, and you'll hear how people have so many followers or have been able to find clients. But how long did it take them, and is it just a question of posting content or do you need razor sharp social media skills?


And let's face it, there are millions of people on social media all sharing the same content as you. So unless you have some incredible social media skills, the experience to back it up and you don't mind waiting for 12 months or so....it's perhaps best you try a different way.


Can you make good money as an online personal trainer?

  1. Have a niche, let's say weight loss

  2. Offer 2 online classes a day, Monday to Friday
